Friction between two objects depends on the static coefficient of friction (if the object is currently not moving) and the normal force from the surface, acting in the direction opposite the direction of gravity.

∙ 9y agoBecause Ffric = Normal force * coefficient of friction, and Fnormal = mass*9.81m/s^2, the coefficient of friction for those 2 objects, which represents the relationship between their touching surfaces, and the objects masses, are the two things that determine frictional force. As you probably can tell, the higher a coefficient of friction, the harder it is to move an object. Higher masses also increase the difficulty of moving an object because it results in a higher frictional force.

Amount of friction depend on two thing?
The amount of friction between two surfaces depends on more than two things. It could depend on many things like The shared surafce area The amount of force between the objects How rough or somooth the surfaces are The presence of a lubricant or glue Ball bearings Even temperature. Many things affect the amount of friction between things
What is fricton?
if there is no friction nothing would be able to stand or stop. example:if you roll a ball it will never stop,if you ride a bike and go down a hill you will never stop. (answer continued by a different guy) friction is every where, space, the sea, on solid surfaces and in the air: its the thing that effects the velocity of an object
What force slows things down?
Friction, when moving sideways. Upthrust when you are trying to go down. gravity when you are trying to go up
Friction as a friend and foe?
Friction can be considered as a friend or a foe. Friction as a friend: 1.It helps us to hold things. 2.It helps us to move. It helps us to move over wet floor or a muddy track. 3.It helps us to attach many things on the wall surface. 4.The friction between the wheels and the vehicle allows the vehicle to stop, start or change the direction. Friction as a foe: 1.It wastes a large amount of energy as when 2 objects rubs each other, a large amount of heat energy is released.
What are 3 facts about friction?
1) friction thats lows things down is called dynamic friction 2) friction that stops things is called static friction 3) most of friction makes heat ( rubbing hands together )
How does friction move things?
Friction does not move things. Friction is the force that opposes motion between two objects that are touching. Not enough friction allows for things to move, depending on what kind of friction; the less force it has.
What 2 things determine the strength of gravity between 2 objects?
The mass of the objects and the distance between them.
What are 3 things that friction can do between two objects?
Heat,wear,and static electricity(depending on what the objects are made of).

What two things affect the amount of friction between two objects?
The coefficiant of friction between the two surfaces and the normal reaction force of the object lying on the surface
How does friction affect objects and how can they be changed?
Friction makes things warmer and can be changed by lubricants
What 2 things determine the force of gravity between 2 objects?
-- the product of their weights -- the distance between their centers
What 2 things determine how much gravity would be between two objects?
weight and mass

Friction can cause objects to slow down what else can it do?
speed things up
What things in the house need the most and less friction?
things with wheels such as glass, bowls and other circular objects
How do you find heat from friction?
When you rub two things together, the friction between the two things will produce heat.
